The October online auction (Oct. 1-10, 2013)features quilts from "Alzheimer's Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope" as does the December online auction.
The November auction is the Celebrity Invitational Quilt Auction and then of course we will be making noise in the exhibit area at International Quilt Festival in Houston, October 30-November 3. We hope to offer more than 2,500 quilts. If things go as planned, we may reach the $1,000,000 mark in funds raised for research in Houston.
